Love

By: Richele Lee Martinez

Love is strong,
It is not a game.
It is two souls wanting
to be the same.
Love is not simple,
it is very hard.
It is not a flower,
picked from a yard.
Love is deep,
and can also hurt.
It isn't something
that you kick in the dirt.
To love is to listen
and open your heart.
To value your trust
right from the start.
